Hands Of Glory (CD)

Andrew Bird

Amoeba Review

10/29/2012

Multi-instrumentalist Andrew Bird’s latest album continues his tradition of producing intricate yet immediate, lost-in-your-head melodies. Hands of Glory is as rootsy an album as Bird has produced, from the fiddle-laden “Spirograph” to the twangy “Railroad Bill,” but he has a way of turning Americana tropes on their head, building plucked strings into a mythical tale in “Something Biblical.”
